Digital Scales ?

sdr Jun 24, 2005 09:19 AM

Hey guys

I'm looking for a new digital scale for honduran and like sized colubrid husbandry. I'm considering one called My Weigh 7001DX, but would like to hear about some of the ones you guys like working with..........Mfg/Model..etc.??

Thanks, Dale /Paradise,CA.

I have a My Weigh 3001T and it works great. I see the newer models, such as the 7001DX you're looking at, now have a back-lit display which is a nice addition. I don't think you'll regret buying a My Weigh scale.

I'm using a Sunbeam SP5 digital postal scale from Office Depot. It was about $30 to $35 when I bought it. It still uses the same batteries I put in a couple of years ago and it works well.

Edlund E-80 from staples/office depot, meets all my needs. I keep a shoebox on top of the scale, zero out the shoebox, plop the animal being weighed into the box. It's got a capacity beyond the heftiest honduran.

You're welcome.There are a lot to choose from; I don't really use one that often so I chose the more inexpensive kind. The one Terry has looks very nice and will probably last much longer when you use it all the time.
